Tree at my window....

Hi Everybody!
Hope you are all well and fit!

For Art Journal Journey, through my window, I made another A3 mixed media page. The poem is from Robert Frost. The centre background is a picture painted last year. I placed it on the centre of the page, and painted the edges to match, The birds stencil is from Dina Wakley. The window seems to be floating in the middle of the scene, so inside and outside have merged.







This is my tag from Tag Tuesday, where our theme this week is brown and blue, two beautiful colours. I painted an 8" tag with metallic blue, and added the image (Gecko Galz) matted onto bronze mirri card. I rusted the wooden key, and added it together with a clock charm. 





Yesterday was really hot and sunny. The horses were sheltering under the pollard willows:




This spider was waiting for visitors:


My shadow was in the stream while I was on the bridge:


The Kids from the Kindergarten were out and about by the river:



These are the windows in the gatehouse of the Marien Hospital:



The chapel windows in the hospital:


It rained today non stop from morning till evening, but then the  skies cleared and we had a beautiful evening sky:



Have a great day you all, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!

  1. What a fabulous way to recycle an older painting. It became the perfect window that showed a great tree. Lovely entry.

    I never tire of seeing your horses or the window boxes. Seeing your shadow was fun, too. My kind of "selfie." Have a beautiful day, dear. I hope the rains have passed and there are blue skies today for you.

  2. Nice idea to show those window photos along with the window theme at AJJ! And I love your tree and poem. The colors feel like sunset or early fall, when there are more yellows and browns around but before the leaves actually turn. Adding the stenciled birds really pulls it all together. Have a great day!

  9. Love the colours in your painted tree and super photos. I've been on a two day workshop with the quilter Gloria Loughman where we were learning "all about colour", so I'm feeling much more "colour confident" now! Have a good day, weather has turned cooler here and the trees are actually beginning to turn. Guess autumn has arrived! Xx

  11. Awesome page as always Valerie, but I must ask - how on earth did you manage to get the colours to match?! I have awful trouble remixing paint if I've run out - because I'm also not very good at mixing enough!
    The bars on the hospital windows are beautiful! So-oo much nicer than plain old railings and their flowers are gorgeous.
    It was nice to see the wee kiddies in their trolley pram, Wee Man used to go in the one from his nursery when he was two. They're such a great idea.
    Hope you have a good day {{Hugs}} :o))

  17. OH I adore your tree and how perfectly you have used it with that great poem too Valerie!
    How lovely to see so much green and lovely flowers in your Rhineland.
    Things are very very dry here in Virginia. It was the driest August since 2006.
    Such fun to visit with you first thing this morning.
    Your tag looks super too!
